Casey Vance had a very solid showing this spring amongst the linebackers, using his experience and knowledge of the schemes to put himself in position to make plays. Now with fall camp underway, Vance hopes to rely on those same attributes to see the field this fall.

The 5-foot-9, 220-pound redshirt senior is currently in a battle for the starting will linebacker spot with junior college transfer Josh Francis and Vance believes that the competition at his spot and throughout the unit, will only breed success for the defense as a whole.
